Executive Summary
Fluid overload is the number one reason why congestive heart failure patients end up in the hospital While diuretic drugs are the mainstays for eliminating excess fluid, they work slowly, often necessitating a 6-7 day stay in the hospital. CHF Solutions has an FDA cleared ultrafiltration device that can remove as much as four liters of fluid from a patient in 8 hours. Hospitals will save money, if they can cut patient hospital stays down by several days.
